Choosing reviews domain

For the sake of simplicity, we wanted reviews to be from one domain, e.g. reviews on movies. The would-be domain must have some properties:
- it should be relatively easy to find paid reviews for this domain;
- there must exist paid reviews for this domain;
- russian community of reviews must be big enough.
Based on this criteria, we threw out reviews about any product group (e.g. smartphones) completely: no sane person would pay for reviews about one product.
After brief voting, we came up with the following candidate domains:
- E-markets;
- Dentist's;
- Hotels;
- Youtube videos.
Each of us was responsible for one domain, and was searching for possible review sources for ~1.5 hour. Then we've discussed our findings and concluded E-markets to be the most perspective domain:
- it has one big source of russian reviews: Yandex.Market (which gives instant review gathering);
- we can deduce some heuristics for searching probable paid reviews (other domains appeared to be harder).
